It's a shame Astrobot didn't do better in Japan. I don't think it did bad but I think  its around 70k-80k in physical sales (56k at end of 2024). It deserved a lot more. Elsewhere in US and Europe it was able to maintain top 10 status for months whereas Japan it randomly dropped out the top 30 after a few weeks top 10

AstroBot sold badly because they haven't built an audience for those types of games in Japan. The same reason why Metroid Prime 4 will likely bomb in Japan as well.

Did astro bot sell particularly well anywhere, last I saw it had only sold around 2.3 million worldwide. Which for a game that won goty, was extremely critically acclaimed and was marketed pretty heavily seems kind of low.
